I’m machining some parts, 6061 al, about 8 ft long, 2x3in crossection. They get lightening slots thru and some 2d profiling. The slots are 1-1/2” wide and 4” long, so that leaves a 3/4 thick web on either side of slot.
About 12x 1/4-20 tapped holes and 3 reamed holes longways down the length.
These parts are +/-.005 and fully inspected by my customer.
We just did a good first article, but now my customer wants us to machine all profiles, then deliver so they can be blasted (finish required) then we will take back and D&T everything.
Will blasting warp this thick of a part?
